Session summary

This interactive workshop session will enable participants to further understand the ‘Teaching and Learning’ bands of the Academic Promotions criteria, and to begin to identify how they can make a case for promotion using examples of everyday teaching excellence in their own practice, through discussion with colleagues. The session will use a combination of small breakout rooms and large-group discussion in order to share practice, answer questions, and to demystify the promotions criteria in relation to teaching and learning.

In advance of the session, participants are encouraged to read through the Academic Promotions criteria and the examples provided by TR&R, as well as to bring some examples of their teaching practice to discuss in the workshop.
